HAFM Appliance Information

The HAFM appliance provides a central point of control for managed Fibre 
Channel products. The HAFM appliance is required for installing, configuring, 
and managing these products.

Note:  

Although products can perform normal operations without an HAFM 

appliance, the HAFM appliance should operate at all times to monitor product 

operations, report failures, log event changes, and log configuration changes.

User Interface Description

The main window is comprised of various areas. Descriptions are listed below the 
graphic.

Note:  

Some panels may be hidden by default. To view all panels, choose View > All 

Panels, or press F12.
